The Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA) surveyed over 15,000 college students in introductory college English classes nationally — a mixture of students in STEM and non-STEM majors, to identify factors that have strengthened their STEM identity. Students were asked about their experiences in a variety of precollege STEM structured activities and programs to find out which types of programs, and which attributes of those programs, were the most successful in increasing students’ STEM identity.

The Connecting Out-of-School Time (OST) Activities and STEM Identity webinar as hosted by NGCP and  CfA on April 27, 2021. In this webinar recording, presenters offer a high-level overview of the survey's findings, provide tips for how to interpret and use the data, and share some interesting and surprising findings.
